THE NEXT U. S. SENATE.

Nearly all the vacancies in the
United States Senate have now
been filled BY election. Including
Mr.. Farwell, who was elected to
fill the unexpired term of Senator
Logan, the Republicans have
twenty-six hold-ovcr Senators and
the Democrats twenty-five
Of the now Senators elected
thirteen are republicans and seven
are democrats. The nemocIat
will also probably elect their can
didates IN Florida, Texas, and
West Virginia. Should this be
the case they would have thirty
five members in the next Senate
and the Republicans thirt7-nine,
including Rid~leburger, of Vir-
ginia, who usually votes with the
Republicans.
This leaves out of the calculation
New Jersey and Indiana, where it
is impossible to foresee what will
be the result. Should there be
contests in these States, which
seems not i'm probable, the Senate,
exclusive of the claimants in each
case, wonld be called upon to de-
eide as to the merits of the con-
trStants. The action of the Dem
ocrats in the Indiana Legislature
has been of a character to throw
great discredit, to say the least, on
TIE credentials OF any person they
might send to the Senate, while
the coniuc. Of thft party in New
jersey has 0aen little il any better.
Should the R>pu9li ans ultimately
gain one Of these seats, ihc next
Senate would stand forty Repub.
licaas to thirty six Democrats,
counting Riddleburger with the
the lorlner. Bat should the Dem
ocrats get botn the Indiana and the
New Jersey .eata, they would still
have but thirty seven members to
the Republicans thirty-nino. In
this event, if Mr. Ridcleberger
should vole with the Democrats on
any question the Senate would be
tied.

The labor question is not likely
to assume the dangerous phases it
assumed last year. In several
cities Eaat and West organized
labor has already taken action and
has decided not to ask for more
money or fewer hours. a mere
conservative and friendly feeling
prevails. The werkingmen thro'-
out the country feel that an agi-
tation which would result in strikes
or iOckouts weuld be disastrous to
the improving pi opects and they
are very generally declaring them
selves already on the side Of peace
and will not inaugurate general
strikes. At the same time their
putting themselves in a gtrong de
fensivo position by insisting upon
the establishment of arbtrative
boards in the various trades and
industries, SO that when improve
ments in prices come they will be
guaranteed their Just share with
out forcing a suspension ct work.
